DAIKYO opened their campaign with a hard-fought 75-71 victory over Waltique in the 38-year-old and below category of the Syarikat MK Jazmar Cup last night at the Brunei Basketball Association court in Batu Bersurat.

Geve Leones scored a game-high of 29 points for Daikyo while Apollo Bibat and Hanzel Enopia chipped in 13 and 10 points respectively.

Vincent Superio topscored for Waltique with 21 points and Nukhassan Jauhali poured in 17 points. Mike Agripa and Joel de Silva added 13 and 10 points respectively in the losing effort.

Daikyo got off to a better start by running the floor to score on layups. They were attacking the paint while their opponents struggled to put points on the board.

Waltique began to pick up the slack to minimise the damage and ending up with just a 12-19 deficit heading into the second period.

It was a similar affair in the second quarter but Daikyo were rushing too many of their shots.

On the other hand, Waltique started to connect on many of their outside shots. They were also playing good defence and forced turnovers off Daikyo to cut the deficit to 32-35 at halftime. Read More…
